Chapter 280 I am a coachman
Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Lin heard everything clearly from the window. They exchanged glances and quietly slipped away.
Mother Lin pulled Mother Huang aside and said, "Huang, that Feng Shui master this morning was so amazing. Xiaoyao looks like a real nobleman!"
Huang Po nodded and said, "It is true that he is a noble, but he also needs Xiaobei's consent!
Mrs. Lin was disgusted by Mrs. Huang's unpleasant words and punched her.
Huang Po kicked her back.
Fu Jichang opened the door and came out of the house, and Ji Xiaobei followed him out.
Mrs. Huang sat cross-legged on the chair, peeling peanuts carelessly.
Mrs. Lin was sewing socks and had pricked her hands several times because she was always distracted.
She was in so much pain that she cursed in her heart.
When he saw Fu Jichang and the other two coming out, he got panicked and said, "Oops, I got stabbed again."
She quickly put her finger in her mouth, sucked it, stood up and walked over.
"My little one, don't worry. We will take good care of your grandmother at home. Just go about your business!"
Ji Xiaobei glared at Mrs. Lin and said: You were listening very carefully outside!
Huang Po smiled sincerely and said, "Yes, although Huang Po's medical skills are not that high, it is no problem for me to make medicinal porridge or something like that."
When Huang Po saw her big moneybag, her big teeth showed.
Fu Jichang paid her a year's salary and asked her to take care of Ji Xiaobei.
If there is one more old lady, maybe the big money boss will be happy and give some money.
"Thank you, Aunt Huang and Aunt Lin. You've taken so much trouble. I'll come to see grandma when I'm done with this."
Fu Jichang bowed to the two people.
"Hey, my dear, don't be polite, we are all family."
Mrs. Lin quickly helped Fu Jichang up.
Mrs. Lin likes this child even more because he is so sensible.
Touching his arm, it was quite strong, but still a little weaker than Xiaobei's.
The old woman felt distressed.
Fu Jichang gave Ji Xiaobei a few more instructions. Before leaving, he looked back at her waist and asked meaningfully:
"No, your family's food is really nourishing, but you still need to eat less."
Ji Xiaobei rolled his eyes in anger: "I eat your food, but you are quite nosy..."
"I was wrong. You are still as strong as ever... I'm leaving my grandmother in your care..."
Fu Jichang said this as he slipped out the door.
After walking out of the door and standing still, he took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his expression, giving off a chilling look.
Heita looked at his master with suspicion.
The master's face was as cold as ever.
However, there seemed to be a kind of joy in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.
Only Heita, who has been following him all year round, could detect this expression.
"Master..." Heita called out, and suddenly he saw the joy in the master's eyes fade away, and a murderous cold light emerged.
Heita was surprised and smelled a puff of smoke. He turned his head and saw the witch lighting yellow paper at the door and muttering some spell in a mysterious voice.
"What are you doing?" Fu Jichang yelled.
The witch was startled, and hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "Sir, help the old lady get rid of the ghost!"
"Where did the ghost come from?" Fu Jichang stepped forward and kicked the old witch far away.
“Ouch, ouch…you…”
"It was you who played tricks at my house last time, delaying my old lady's treatment. How dare you come here..."
"Ah, sir, please spare my life..."
The fortune-teller ran away in a panic.
Madam Gui was standing at the gate of the yard, and all the servants were kneeling, watching the witch flying out. They were trembling with fear and dared not breathe.
"Mrs. Gui!"
Hearing the cry, Mrs. Gui shuddered again.
"Master, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the old lady. I deserve to die. I won't be able to face the master after I die..."
Mrs. Gui wiped her tears and knelt on the ground and said.
Fu Jichang didn't even look at her and walked into the yard.
When passing by Ertou, he paused. There was an unpleasant resentment in this man.
His eyes swept over the hunched backs of the two men. "Which courtyard do you work for?"
Ertou didn't dare to look up, staring at the half-worn black boots on the ground and answered: "I am the coachman Ertou!"
Fu Jichang looked at Madam Gui fiercely.
Mrs. Gui, who was kneeling, felt her scalp tingling and she felt as if a knife-like gaze was directed at her.
She was shaking all over and was completely speechless.
Ah Huang saw the young master asking, and quickly answered: "Sir, Ertou is a coachman bought when the old housekeeper was here. He is responsible for taking care of the family's horses and cleaning the family's carriages."
"It's been a year since you came here, right?"
Ah Huang replied: "One and a half years."
Before the old butler left, he handed over all the affairs of the mansion to Ah Huang.
After moving to Anzhou Prefecture, the old lady dismissed the slaves, and now there are only seven or eight servants in the mansion.
All the affairs in the mansion are handled by Ah Huang and Nanny Zhang.
There aren't many servants, so it's been pretty quiet over the past couple of years.
Fu Jichang raised his foot, took two more steps, turned around and spoke in a cold voice:
"I just came out from next door. That family came to Anzhou to do business. I will have someone check their background. Before the investigation is complete, no one is allowed to contact them."
The yard was silent, so quiet that one could hear each other's heartbeats.
"Mrs. Gui, did you hear what I said?" Fu Jichang's voice became heavier.
"I heard you, sir. Don't worry, I will take good care of the servants!"
Fu Jichang nodded and continued, "For so many years, you have taken care of the old lady, and you have done a lot. Don't interfere in the matter of her disappearance.
I have just taken office in Anzhou and have dealt with many unjust and wrong cases. It is inevitable that I will offend people. You should not send people out to look for them in a high-profile manner, so as not to cause you trouble.
I will report the old lady's disappearance to the authorities and ask them to help investigate. They may investigate several cases at the same time."
Hearing this, Mrs. Gui, who was kneeling, let out a long sigh and sneered in her heart, thinking, it turned out that it was you who offended someone, then you can't blame others.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Fu Jichang changed the subject and said through gritted teeth:
"But, when the old lady disappeared from home, no one, including the maids and servants, noticed anything unusual. This is really out of place..."
Everyone's heart was in their throat again, and they all expected Fu Jichang to punish them.
"Madam Gui, you should take care of the household affairs. You should discipline the maids and nannies. If they are not useful, sell them and buy some more. The key to Nanny Zhang's house is for Madam Gui!"
Nanny Zhang was stunned, with a look of astonishment on her face.
She was the closest person to the old lady and her dowry maid. She had served the old lady all her life. But the old lady was kidnapped by bad guys right under her nose.
She blamed herself and felt heartbroken.
The young master wants to give the housekeeper's key to Madam Gui, but if the old lady were here, she would definitely not agree.
But what can she, a servant, do?
She handed the key to Fu Jichang with tears in her eyes...
